Veggies

I had radishes from the garden for lunch today, and there is lettuce and spinach nearly ready to eat. I planted back in early April when we were having warm weather, and the plants really took off. The ground is nearly warm enough under the black plastic to put out tomatoes. I planted them from seed this year, time will tell if they are better or worse than those from the nursery.

Trip to NYC

The photos below of Wave Hill were taken in late April while I was in NYC visiting Joe.

Wave Hill Garden

The copper beech tree is so huge it would cover my whole lot. The photo doesn't do justice to how magnificant this tree is.

Wave Hill is a spectacular garden in Riverside the Bronx overlooking the Hudson River and Palisades. It was built in 1843 as a country home and in 1903 was purchased by the Perkins-Freeman family. The property was donated to the city of New York in 1960 and is maintained as a public garden.
